Ingredients (2 servings)
2 large egg yolks (room temperature)
1 cup heavy cream (cold)
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1–1½ tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (100% cocoa)
Optional (relaxed carnivore only):
½–1 tsp raw honey or animal-based sweetener
Pinch of sea salt (enhances chocolate flavor)
🔥 For strict carnivore: use cocoa sparingly and omit sweeteners.
Instructions
Whip the cream
Whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside in the fridge.
Mix yolks & cocoa
In a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks with cocoa powder until smooth and glossy.
Add butter
Slowly whisk in melted butter until fully incorporated.
Sweeten (optional)
Add honey or sweetener if using. Mix gently.
Fold everything together
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture in 2–3 batches to keep it airy.
Chill
Spoon into serving dishes and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes until set.
Tips for Best Results
Use very cold cream for better whipping
Fold gently — overmixing will deflate the mousse
If cocoa tastes bitter, reduce slightly or add a pinch of salt
For extra richness, add 1 more tablespoon of butter
Serving Suggestions
Serve chilled in ramekins
Top with a small dollop of whipped cream
Optional garnish (relaxed carnivore): shaved dark chocolate (100%)
